Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA) Required

KBA is a way to validate a person’s identity by asking questions that are known by them based on their US credit history and other records. The customer must have a US social security number to generate KBA. A TIN number does not work. If your client does not have a US social security number and would like to close with RON, please contact your local title representative.
